OIL LEAK UPDATE;

right ive just had it up on the ramp and cleaned it off as best as i could and found 2 definate oil leaks;

1 power steering rubber pipe was leaking and has been for a long time-NOW FIXED THANKS TO A JUBILEE CLIP.

2.oil return from breather kit that returns the oil to the sump had come off due to whoever originally fitted it hadnt put it on right as the hose was too short and only just went on about 10mm.can you imagine how much oil would come out of a)the return pipe and b)blowing out of the sump.
NOW FIXED WITH A NEW,CORRECT LENGHT PIECE OF HOSE.
also the pipe from the original breather to the bailey tank was kinked and has now been re-routed.

now im pretty sure that these are the main sources of oil leaks,especially as i think the oil pipe has been leaking since it had the clutch fitted in sept 2005.

only time will tell and i dont expect it to be completely oil free as all 4x4 cossies(well all cossies) leak oil unfortunatelybut im pretty confident to say it will be no worse than any other one now.
